WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR
Ā
This book is for uncommonly driven, Catholic husbands, fathers and grandfathers. Catholic leaders who have a passion for excellence and who are in a stage of life where legacy and leaving a generational impact have become primary motivations.
Ā
Some men have an uncommon passion for music, science, theology. etcā¦
Ā
For other men, that uncommon passion is the pursuit of excellence and striving to live up to their full potential in every area of stewardship. Then, to ignite this same passion and desire in others so that it may impact their grandchildrenās grandchildren and beyond.
Ā
For these leaders, excellence and holiness are an exciting and captivating pursuit. The idea of getting comfortable living below oneās God given potential is abhorrent to them and a deeply tragic sight to witness in others.
Ā
To paraphrase my friend, Dan Burke, āwe must become saints, so that we can help others become saints.ā
Ā
If this resonates, then this book was written for you.
